so electroboom said I should try what type of spark I wanted. The upside with high voltage low current ones like this is that we can adjust the frequency to make them quiet or even make the freqcuency of the spark match the note of the piano. these spark doesn't damage the strings nearly as much as the higher current disposable camera capacitors. Negative thing is these transformers start self arcing internally if you don't allow them to arc all the time and fry themselves. So I would look for more quality ways of achieving this spark. But Idk, the cameras have more of an impact exploation like spark vs the high voltage that is more like a lightning strike. what do you think?

We need AC/DC - Thunderstruck for Piano.

That is so satisfying to see Mattias so excited and scared of his own genius xD I’m so excited about that project

Wear non conducting gloves. The current can jump to you without touching at high voltages. Work clean, If there is something no matter how small that can burn at the point of contact it will burn a significant part of the material away. So don't touch the wire and then zap it.

I’ve never found myself asking what a taser piano would sound like. Until today.

PLEASE stay safe! Electricity is really dangerous

This looks really promising. Especially the sustained arc is really amazing. It might be a little bit loud in the end compared to the actual piano sound, but I really like that spark sound on its own. If you could actually manage to match the frequency of the power to each string that would be crazy. But this is probably also hugely more effort than just wiring up all strings to the same power source. I like this much more than the sparks of the camera circuits. I think it also looks a lot better on camera.

This is definitely a few kVs but not 400 kV. I really didn't think Wish would allow to sell stuff this dangerous. I hope the piano will be finished without you being shocked severely.

To safely trigger the hight voltage, you could install a switch, like a limit switch with a little lever (are links allowed here?) under the key itself, where you press it. The key would turn on the high voltage and play the note, but shut it off, when it is no longer pressed. I will include an example below.

This is really dangerous I think it's simular to what Ann Readon on how to cook that was talking about very recently. It doesn't matter how professional you are or think you are. Electricity is no joke.

this is so cool and awesome! can't wait to see the final piano!

Aka Palpatine's powerbank 🧐

Hey buddy that is neat I love how you can make things that is super amazing and neat 😀

Wow looks just like the channel picture

When you're exposing yourself to this amount of high energy radiation for longer time, like when you're doing experiments and testing/ playing the piano, maybe invest in a lead loincloth. Stay safe

Remember when you were trying to solve high voltage electrical noise... Now you are creating it. I feel like I missed a "Here's my new place that doesn't have a cow fence" video.

thats EPIC please be careful!

Mattias meets eliectroboom 🎹💥

Next: tesla coil piano :D

Indeed.

nice test. good luck finding something that can allow you to continuously spark with the key held down.

You should contact styropyro he is an amazing electrical engineer

I feel stressful watching this 😬😂

Anyone else find it mildly worrying that the last video Mattias posted was messing with a high voltage piano design two months ago?

Aren't you going to have to keep each hammer/wire separated with insulation? If that matters to you

I felt that in my wet bones.

If you keep that up then you might be able to play the Halo theme.

Waw

Oh god

I really hope those aren't lithium cells you're arc-shorting

Some of the cables can not withstand a lot of voltages you need to get better cables for higher voltages.Quality cables have rating that they can handle the amount of voltages.

The cables are probably making that sound because their insulation is nothing close to enough to isolate >5kv. Just by the transformer they're very close and current will be leaking between them right through the insulation. Can you share the circuit?

Can you tube the arc?

Please be careful!

but is the pitch changeable tho

Can you say fire hazard?

This is one of the better idea’s 😂 btw can you unban me from the dc server? Idk why but I’m banned probably bc lava hacked my acc (lava is a bot who places fake dc nitro links in al your servers

shaploink

playing with high voltages can be fatal. I think that's enough to stop a heart. please be careful. it might be a good idea to put a warning in your main video about the dangers. a lot of people use transformers from microwaves which are extremely deadly. like one shock and you're gone. I'd hope batteries and a camera transformer would be safer, but I wouldn't make that gamble.

That is not 400kv lol
